The first is about faith and the second is about facts. It is wrong of us to try and combine them two together. With that being said.. How do we manage to get divided as people? After all, we are human beings. What is the reason of the greatest wars in history? Money, for sure.. but this is an award that not many people get and wars as we know them to be, are about whole nations. Right? So what motivates the mass?
In order to fight for something you need to have a purpose, a personal reason, a spiritual connection with the higher good. In other words, you need to believe that this war will eventually bring peace to your mind, home, family, nation.. Belief.. faith.. wishes.. all three are rooting to one thing.
On this planet, wars have happened that lasted for decades or maybe more because some people on the other side of the world won’t obey to the roots of the enemy’s belief system. – Our Gods demands the first born of every family as an offering to them. Our Gods don’t need that! Our Gods want humans to be more connected with mother nature. NO! Our gods are better!
They said to us that men must be superior and women need to do as they are told! “We” are the strongest sex after all! How could your Gods ever do that? Women must be superior because they are practically connected to the spiritual world more! That can’t be true, we only have one God and He died so we can be saved! He is the only true God and all of you must follow His path, otherwise you will be doomed to spent the rest of eternity burning in Hell! Hell? Oh we have a Goddess named Hell! She is half dead half alive! Daughter of Loki! And let me tell you, where she lives there’s no fire! Only ice. Its literally freezing down on the roots of the tree of life, Yggdrasil! So are you trying to tell me that the whole planet stand on a tree? That just doesn’t make any sense! We all know that the world stands on a turtle and on top of the turtle’s back there are elephants that hold the world! You must be joking! The only elephant that I know is the Almighty Ganesha! Who? You get the idea.. everyone is right from their perspective.
Wait! Is it..? Is it their perspective? Or do they follow a path that is now theirs?
Keep in mind that every country has its own legends and myths, Gods and monsters, good and evil. These stories are so important still. In fact, they are equally important to the very history of each country. People lived and dies believing in them, living their life according to their beliefs and dies with the according ceremony.
I remember stories about Zeus striking down lighting bolts. In fact, Thor is doing the same pretty much.. that’s what we thought was happening until we learned what is really happening. Two dark clouds come together and boom. It’s science. Facts. Nobody can make you believe that it’s not what it’s proven to be.
What you believe in, depends on where you live in.
For example if I was born in the Middle East, I would be an Arab and so that makes me a muslim. Now, I’m not saying that every Arab is muslim but this is the religion they grow up in despite the fact that they might change path. That’s another story. We all have this choice nowadays, anyway. Back in a day, it wasn’t that easy. A king with many soldiers and ships could come in your country to take it and make you a follower of his religion and rules with or without your consent.
Pagans, Atheists, Cristians burned on the stick or were crucified because of their belief.
In addiction to that, some religions hunt down the atheists and the non-believers because they think that this action will grant them a place next to their God, which is so terrifying if you think about it. They think that non believers are less than humans and non worthy of living, which brings us back to the conclusion that religion becomes the reason of many wars where people die from both sides to support the ones on top who never got an injury.
On the other hand, faith.. religion is not the one that aims to separation among the people guiding them to acts of bigotry, but it is the meaning that the followers give it. Your god helped you because you did something according to your rules but this doesn’t mean that someone who happens to not be on the same happiness level with you for some personal reason is a bad person. You did what you did because it felt right and that’s ok, as long as it doesn’t hurt other people.. what makes you think that making someone feel as if its a bad person, is an advantage for you?
Why do we keep on choosing to look only on the differences and not the similarities with other humans?
Fanatics caused grand losses worldwide. Brought wars and death and that’s about it. Nothing god or divine can blossom through hate. Mayas, Inkas.. two of the most important cultures, people with abilities beyond our understanding! Healers! People of nature..became warriors and in fact greater than we would like to admit. We had guns and they had rocks and sticks. We had army and they had farmers..and yet..we will never forget them. We can only stand looking at their temples..wondering what kind of builders they were, what an amazing design.. what great artists they were. What’s the answer behind this templet..or what’s the deeper meaning of this drawing.
Instead of asking them, we killed them because they refused to follow our belief system that is ironically all about love, right?
There is no right and wrong for ‘spiritually blind’ people just the signs that their gods give them. In our book and my art, this is exactly what we want to pass to you. Question everything and everyone. If gods or god exist(s) do you think that this divine energy would be proud? The divine energy loves us unconditionally or only if we follow the rules? Who made the rules anyway?
You are free to believe what makes your heart and soul happy and fulfilled as long as you bring no harm to anyone else. Love.. that’s a God or Goddess I follow.

If you had a chance to leave your cell, would you use every single cell you got to grab it?
I know, I would. As a matter of fact, I did. I had to. You see, ‘normal’ can be something totally different for you than what it is to me. And that’s okay. No judgment. Neither you or I can be sure which one is right.. and why should we?
I only care if you’re happy.. Are you happy?
Does it get too much sometimes? I know it does. The pressure consumes you, anxiety is a serious enemy. Your overthinking must be killing you. Unless you’re not an overthinker and you’re just practical… right? Where does your practice keep getting you? Do you get the results you’re craving? I hope you do.
Are you comfortable enough in your skin? In your clothes? In your family? Does your house feel like home?
Don’t answer to me. I don’t need to hear it. You do. They say, be careful of what you’re thinking because it is that one step before action. What are you thinking.. I wonder. No worries.
I will keep this secret of yours if you keep mine… come closer…
